Copperwitchis talking about her lust for the OPIUM fragrance by YSL, so I have to weigh-in with my favourites, both spicy and similar.

Chanel's black-label COCO is a dream, and about A$120 for a 100ml classic bottle of eau de parfum.Vivienne Westwood's Boudoir is spicy too and has such a great flask - I love that she has almost completely appropriated the orb symbol from Her Majesty.

It's still a big seller 40 years on.It was worn with white or black opaque tights, or with white or black fishnets, or lace tights.
